Like a quick look at where it all began?

This is an upload to a very young YouTube. In those days the artist, Robert, was regularly leading in views and accolades – YouTube used to put medals on a channel. Robert’s often carried most viewed and most commented. This was also the highest video quality available: TV broadcast quality.

The idea was – and still is – to show that art doesn’t have to be a stilted academic exercise, and can be exciting.

From this began the teaching of advanced oil painting techniques with a highly specialized DVD Triple Pack sold into 38 countries.

Soon, others who bought the DVD Pack were contributing to YouTube and showing their paintings.

These days, the term “advanced oil painting techniques” has been usurped by a very poor teaching and in the millions have confused the world.

These quality techniques, however, are still being taught.
